Day 13 The Minnewater, from superstition to romance

The Minnewater is one of the best-known and most frequently visited places in Bruges.

The oldest existing photograph of Bruges dates from 1845 and depicts a scene on the Minnewater.

There are different opinions about the origins of the name. Most people now agree that the name derives from the Middle Dutch word ‘minne’, which means ‘water spirit’.

During the Middle Ages, superstitious people believed that an evil water spirit lived under the bridge at this spot. But ‘minne’ also means love, an interpretation that led to the more romantic French translation of the name as ‘Lac d’Amour’.

The Minnewater is the place where the River Reie entered the city. The flow of the Reie was notoriously variable. If rainfall was heavy, the water level rose rapidly, so that the lower lying land on both sides of its banks was soon flooded. As the city gradually expanded, it became necessary to build on this low-lying land. This meant that the

temperamental Reie needed to be controlled. For this reason, a series of locks and weirs were constructed during the 13th century. This led to the creation of the Minnewater, as a water catchment area and reservoir.

There is a Lockhouse above the locks, I sit with my back against it, I have always loved the view from there.

The beautiful reflection in the water is of the striking building on the eastern shore of the Lake of Love, the castle de la Faille . This neo-Gothic castle was built in 1893.

The first wooden Minnewater bridge was built during the 14th century. It was replaced during the 18th century with the current arched bridge in stone. The sturdy rampart tower dates from the end of the 14th –beginning of the 15th century, and once served as the city’s gunpowder storage depot.

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Na afronding van de restauratie van het historische mat' 36 stel 252, werd er door het Spoorwegmuseum de tentoonstelling ' Onder Hoogspanning' georganiseerd. Hierin stond de elektrificatie van de spoorwegen in Nederland centraal. Stel 252 was opengesteld voor het publiek. Doordat we er al direct na opening waren, kon ik uitgebreid het stel en de andere treinen fotograferen. Ondertussen vermaakten mijn dochter en haar vrienden zich prima in het museum.

After completion of the restoration of the historic mat' 36 set 252, the Railway Museum organised the exhibition 'Under High Voltage'. This focused on the electrification of the railways in the Netherlands. Set 252 was open to the public. Because we were there right after the opening, I was able to extensively photograph the set and the other trains. In the meantime, my daughter and her friends enjoyed themselves in the museum.

Nach Abschluss der Restaurierung der historischen Triebwagen 252 organisierte das Eisenbahnmuseum die Ausstellung „Unter Hochspannung“. Im Mittelpunkt stand dabei die Elektrifizierung der Eisenbahnen in den Niederlanden. Triebwagen 252 war für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Da wir direkt nach der Eröffnung dort waren, konnte ich das Paar und die anderen Züge ausgiebig fotografieren. In der Zwischenzeit hatten meine Tochter und ihre Freunde eine tolle Zeit im Museum.
